Inventorying cutover logging residues: A remote sensing approach
(2012-11-10)
The purpose of this study was to quantify the volume of logging residues within forest harvest blocks, using an airborne, remote sensing based method. The objective was to measure the volume using a field technique, and ...
A Comparative study of min-sum based decoding algorithms for low density parity check codes
(2012-11-10)
The demand for large scale broadband networks is gaining immense popularity for convenient access of information. A common concern of transmitting data through a wireless medium is the effects of noise on the signal. ...
Relationships between self-management skills, worry, and generalized anxiety disorder symptoms
(2012-11-10)
Self-management skills allow people to change maladaptive behaviour patterns, and consist of three interdependent facets: self-monitoring, self-evaluating, and self-reinforcing. One type of maladaptive behaviour is ...
Characterization of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) cell lines as models to study pulp and paper effluent effects in fish
(2012-11-10)
The effects of aquatic toxicants on fish growth and development have been well-documented, in contrast to the changes in gene expression that necessarily precede them. Many of these toxicants are exogenous compounds that ...
Are workplace health promotion/wellness programs effective at improving presenteeism (on the job productivity) in workers? a systematic review and best evidence synthesis of the literature
(2012-11-10)
Background: Presenteeism is highly prevalent and costly to employers. It is defined as being present at work but limited in some aspect of job performance by a health problem. Workplace health promotion (WHP) is a common ...
Aspects of infectious agents and cancer : effects of human Papillomavirus 16 and Escherichia coli on the innate immune defense of human keratinocytes
(2012-11-10)
Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent of cervical cancer and bacterial vaginosis (BV) caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli ) has been implicated as a contributing factor. The innate immune system is ...
An Assessment of hospital-based mental health nurses' tobacco cessation practices in two Northeastern Ontario LHIN regions
(2012-11-10)
This is the first Canadian study to examine acute care mental health nurses' adherence to clinician-level (4A protocol) and systems-level recommendations from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario's best practice ...
The Moderating role of depression in the relationship between coping strategies and significant others' reactions with the experience of chronic pain
(2012-11-10)
Research shows a strong co-morbidity between pain and depression (Schatzberg, 2004). Individuals suffering with both chronic pain and depression exhibit greater pain intensity, greater interference due to pain and more ...
Ecophysiological responses of black spruce (Picea mariana) seedlings to nutrient supply, N-P-K ratio and photoperiod at current and elevated CO2 concentration
(2012-11-10)
The relationship between plant growth and nitrogen supply is frequently used in growth models to predict growth performance under global climate change scenarios. However, the relationship may be changed under elevated ...
Electrokinetic barrier and remediation with solar energy
(2012-11-10)
Electrokinetics is a promising technique to prevent / minimize the migration of pollutants to the soil and/or groundwater and to remediate contaminated slurries. Electrokinetics requires a low-level direct current (dc) ...
